The player is thinking to take the ice troll berserker feat, which grants a +2 natural armor bonus to AC when raging or a +4 natural armor bonus when greater raging. Does the natural armor bonus from this feat stack with the natural armor bonus from the Ritual Scarring class feature of the Rune Scarred Berserker prc? This class feature grants +1 natural armor bonus at 3rd level, +2 at 6th, +3 at 9th. This comes about through "frequent difiguration of her own skin".

Um, no. Bonuses of the same type don't stack, period (except dodge bonuses). Whether the bonus comes from magic or not means nothing; it's not a "magic bonus" or a "magic natural armor bonus", it's just a natural armor bonus regardless of source. You are, of course, free to adjucate house rules in your own game as you see fit--but be aware you're changing a basic rule.
